Internet providers were shut down and Facebook accounts deleted across Algeria on Saturday as thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators were arrested in violent street demonstrations...

Plastic bullets and tear gas were used to try and disperse large crowds in major cities and towns, with 30,000 riot police taking to the streets in Algiers alone.
There were also reports of journalists being targeted by state-sponsored thugs to stop reports of the disturbances being broadcast to the outside world.
But it was the government attack on the internet which was of particular significance to those calling for an end to President Abdelaziz Boutifleka's repressive regime.
Protesters mobilising through the internet were largely credited with bringing about revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia.
"The government doesn't want us forming crowds through the internet," said Rachid Salem, of Co-ordination for Democratic Change in Algeria.

Egypt was inspired by Tunisia, Algerians appear to be inspired by both. And Egyptians and Tunisians are sending messages of encouragement to the people of Algeria.
For a long time 'Globalism' meant Multi-National Corps who did not recognize borders, they operated, as we now know particularly from the Wikileaks Cables, in every country in the world, influencing and supporting oppressive regimes. The people of all these countries were isolated from the rest of the world, while the Globalists were working together.
A sea change is occurring now where the PEOPLE are joining together to fight the policies forced on them by Global Capitalists through the use of their bought and paid for dictators.
So, while each country's revolutions are different, it appears to be a people's movement that is sweeping the Arab World right now, and to some extent starting last Summer, Europe. Hopefully Europeans will renew their efforts to throw out THEIR puppet governments, as Iceland has already done, and start retrieving the money stolen from them while the thieves have the arrogance to force 'austerity' programs on the very people they robbed.
It is probably the first time that we, the people of countries all over the world, have joined forces through the internet, to support each country that is rising up against these draconian and brutal policies.
A Global People's Revolution. And that is why the first thing they try to do is to cut off communication with the rest of the world. It's easier to oppress one country isolated from the rest of the world, but it is not so easy to do so when the world is watching and millions, billions actually, are on the side of the people.....
